City offers free disaster preparedness class to residents COOS BAY — The city of Coos Bay and the Coos Bay Fire Department will be offering a free class on disaster preparedness from 6-8 p.m. Aug. 12, at Coos Bay Fire Station No. 1, located at 450 Elrod Ave., in Coos Bay. This class is being offered to anyone that is at least 18 years old and living in the Bay Area. Studies have shown that about one-third of the population is not
prepared for a disaster because they are relying on emergency responders. Two-thirds of the population believe that emergency response will be the same in the first hours and days of a disaster. The truth is that in any major disaster the response of emergency responders for day-to-day emergencies will be greatly diminished. The local resources will be very busy and will have to prioritize
responses. In a major disaster, the community’s ability to respond and recover is directly related to the preparedness of individuals, households and neighborhoods. The class is designed to give you the basic understanding of what a disaster is and how to prepare for it. For more information or to reserve a seat, call the Coos Bay Fire Department at 541-269-1191.

Flexibility is key to outdoor camping experience BY PAT WRAY For the Corvallis Gazette-Times
somewhere in her rocking chair, chuckling and thinking up new ways to yank our chains. “Oh, yeah?” I can hear her cackling. “You handled If time spent in the outdoors does nothing else, it pro- that standing wave pretty well, but let’s see how you do with this eddy!” motes flexibility in our approach to life. And then an oar breaks. I have often wondered if Mother Nature isn’t sitting She started yanking early in our recent family outing. We were on our way to a campsite near Lake Billy Chinook when the sky became hazy with smoke. We were not surprised to encounter a roadblock where we learned our camping area had been evacuated. We AN needed flexibility — and a new plan. The bad news was that we had to figure something out D pretty quick and let our two kids know where to meet us. Hwy. 42 E. C qu lle • 541-396-3742 • P ces g d July 30- Aug. 5, 2014 The good news was that we were intercepted before we set up camp. My heart went out to the folks who had to STORE HOURS Mon. -Fri. 9 A.M. - 7 P.M. SUn. 10-5 break camp on a moment’s notice. We considered the Ochoco Mountains but there was at least one big fire burning there as well, so we did what any time-strapped, flexible Oregon outdoors couple would do — we headed south and popped up onto the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway.

FOR We were lucky; we ended up with adjoining spots at the Cultus Lake campground, a beautiful and popular site, with the emphasis on popular. I have lived in towns containing fewer people than were camping at Cultus Lake. And they brought with them all the accoutrements that sent me into backcountry sites 30 years ago - power boats, generators, yapping Roseburg Roseburg dogs and my personal favorite, painfully loud music.

Health advisory lifted for water contact at popular Coos and Curry beaches A public health advisory for contact with marine water at Sunset Bay State Park Beach, located in Coos County, and Hubbard Creek Beach and Mill Beach, both located in Curry County was lifted July 29 by the Oregon Health Authority. The advisory was issued July 24 after water samples showed higher-than-normal levels of fecal bacteria in ocean waters. Results from subsequent samples taken by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality showed contamination had subsided, and the water no longer poses a higher-than-normal risk associated with water contact
... I accepted my situation and made ready to enjoy the state campground experience. To be fair, it’s hard to complain about running water and a nice toilet. We had bright warm days and cool nights. It actually couldn’t have been better — until our last night, when the clouds started muscling up. I was trying a new Dutch oven recipe, er, creation: sauteed onion and garlic, five chicken breasts, one can of enchilada sauce, one can of salsa and a whole bunch of mixed up Bisquick. Eat your heart out, Jan RobertsDominguez. The concoction had been cooking for half an hour when the deluge hit, leaving our top layer of charcoal briquettes soaked in a half-inch of accumulated water. In minutes, the only fire left in our fire pit was contained in those lucky embers seated beneath the stove. I was resigned to finishing the chicken on our two-burner stove when the rain stopped. We quickly built a new campfire on top of the Dutch oven and watched it burn for a while. After a careful evaluation of the cook time remaining; “I don’t have a clue — your guess is as good as mine,” we popped the lid. Imagine our happy surprise to discover a golden brown layer of Bisquick covering perfectly cooked chicken breasts. We all cheered and I could feel Mother Nature smiling. And then — “It’s kind of spicy!” My wife has what might best be described as a tender palate. It might be described other ways as well but we’ll stick to “tender” for now. There was only one thing to say, but I was gentle. “Stop skrinking up your lips!” I said. “Be flexible!” Pat Wray writes about the outdoors for the Corvallis Gazette-Times. He can be reached at patwraycomcast.net activities. However, officials recommend staying out of large pools and runoff from water frequented by birds, because this can be an indication of increased bacteria from fecal matter. State officials continue to encourage other recreational activities at all Oregon beaches, suggesting only that water contact be avoided when advisories are in effect.
Commission considers budget, fishing and game bird hunting regulations SALEM — The Fish and Wildlife Commission considered the Department of Fish and Wildlife’s 2015-2017 proposed budget request for approval when it met Aug. 1. The commission worked through several agenda items including the 2015 Sport Fishing Regulations and the 2014-2015 Game Bird Regulations. The 2015-17 budget proposal includes a fee increase for recreational and comSEE REC | PAGE 7
Continued from Page 6 mercial licenses that if approved, would take effect in 2016. It also makes program cuts and shifts costs for some programs on to the state’s general fund revenues. The package that will be presented to the commission will include changes to the original budget proposal in response to public comments. Upon commission approval, the proposed budget must be submitted to the Governor for his consideration. Final determination of the ODFW budget would come from the 2015 Oregon State Legislature. Other Commission business: 2015 Sport Fishing Regulations/2014 Coastal Salmon Seasons The commission will be asked to adopt the 2015 Sport Fishing Regulations. Most of the changes for 2015 are housekeeping actions related to corrections, formatting changes and simplification. Some additional regulation proposals include: ■ Permanent extension of the spring Chinook season in Three Rivers (NW Zone). ■ More restrictive bag limits and gear restrictions on the Chetco and Winchuck rivers (SW Zone) to protect wild fall Chinook. ■ An increase in the steelhead daily bag limit to four in the Santiam Basin (Willamette Zone). ■ A permanent fall Chinook fishery on the lower Deschutes (Central Zone). ■ Changing the smallmouth bass regulations on the John Day River (NE Zone), back to the zone regulations. The commission also will consider the 2014 coastal Chinook and coho salmon seasons. In general, the proposed 2014 season will be very similar to the 2013 seasons. For Chinook, ODFW staff has proposed more liberal seasonal bag limits on the Siletz and Yaquina rivers, and slightly more restrictive bags on the Chetco. The staff is also recommending closing the Winchuck River to fishing in 2014 based on 2013 and projected 2014 returns. For coho, the proposed daily and seasonal bag limits and open fishing periods will be identical to the 2013 season, except for a reduced quota on the Umpqua River and minor date changes. 2014-15 Upland and Migratory Bird Hunting Seasons: Based on waterfowl population surveys and possible federal season frameworks, ODFW anticipates proposing another liberal 107-day duck season that would open concurrently in duck zones 1 and 2 on Oct. 11. Pheasant, chukar/Hungarian partridge, and eastern Oregon quail seasons would also open Oct. 11. Additionally, ODFW anticipates proposing the following changes to last year’s waterfowl seasons: ■ Decrease the canvasback daily bag limit from two to one per day. ■ Remove the cackling and Aleutian Canada goose bag limit restrictions in both the NW general and NW permit Oregon goose zones. The bag limit would be four Canada geese per day, except for dusky Canada geese in the NW Permit Zone. ■ Increase the white-fronted goose bag limit from six to 10 per day except in Lake County where the bag limit would remain one per day. ■ Add late-winter white-fronted and white goose seasons in Lake and Harney Counties similar to those in already held in Klamath and Malheur counties. ■ Summer Lake Wildlife Area and Malheur National Wildlife Refuge would be closed during the late-winter
hunt timeframe (Jan. 26 – March 10). ■ Set a bag limit of 20 white geese per day during latewinter hunts in Klamath, Lake and Harney counties. The bag limit is already 20 white geese per day in Malheur County. ■ Increase the bag limit for Canada geese from four to six per day during the entire season in the South Coast Zone. ■ Increase the bag limit for mourning doves from 10 to 15 per day and increase the mourning dove season length from 30 to 60 days. ■ Shift the opening date for the NW Permit and General goose zones forward by two weeks so the season would open on Oct. 18, similar to seasons prior to 2011. ■ Increase the overall dusky Canada goose quota in the NW Permit Zone from 90 to 165 geese for the season. Finally, ODFW proposes to open an area of the Columbia River (from the railroad bridge at Celilo to Arlington) to game bird hunting. Both resident and migratory Canada geese and other game bird populations also are healthy. Though the change wouldn’t take effect until 2015, ODFW is proposing that the eastside reservation system at Sauvie Island Wildlife Area change from first-come, first served to a random draw. This is to allow all hunters to have an equal chance to hunt in their preferred area. 2015-20 Upland Game Bird Framework: The commission will also be asked to adopt a regulatory framework for the 2015-20 upland game bird seasons. Upland bird season frameworks are adopted on a five-year basis to provide consistency to wildlife managers and bird hunters. Proposals that would change 2015-2020 regulations from current season structures are listed below; the earliest they would take effect is Sept. 1, 2015: ■ Extend quail, chukar, Hungarian partridge seasons until Jan. 31 in Umatilla and Morrow counties (currently close Dec. 31). ■ Extend eastern Oregon forest grouse until Jan. 31 (currently closes Dec. 31). ■ Increase spring turkey season bag limit to three statewide; daily bag limit will remain at one. ■ Allow retention of fully-feathered head or wing for identification in the field. Changes to wildlife management areas The commission will be asked to consolidate wildlife management area and public river access rules into one OAR Division 008 (from four different places in rule and regulation) and add some ODFW managed lands not called out in current regulations into the rules. Another topic will be adjusting wildlife area parking permit language to clarify that anyone who drives a motor vehicle to the area must display a parking permit, which will address concerns from area users. In other actions, the commission will be asked to: ■ Approve $773,819.50 for five restoration and 15 enhancement projects approved by the Fish Restoration and Enhancement Board. ■ Consider changes to the commercial Dungeness crab fishery, including regulations to implement a postseason gear recovery program and changes to the season opening process recommended by the Tri-State Dungeness Crab Committee. ■ Appoint several members to the Commercial Fishery Permit Board. The commission is the policy-making body for fish and wildlife issues in the state. Public testimony before the commission will be held first thing Friday morning,
just after the adoption of temporary rules. Persons seeking to testify on issues not on the formal agenda may do so by making arrangements with the ODFW Director’s Office, at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting, by calling 800-720-6339 or 503-947-6044. Reasonable accommodations will be provided as needed for individuals requesting assistive hearing devices, sign language interpreters or large-print materials. Individuals needing these types of accommodations may call the ODFW office at 800-720-6339 or 503-9476044 at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting.
Parks team accepting public comment on proposed smoking restrictions Public comment will play a key role in the decision to create a rule. Comments can be sent to the department through Aug. 29 by regular mail (OPRD Beach Smoking, 725 Summer St NE, Suite C, Salem OR 97301), by email, or in person at one of four public hearings scheduled in August. All hearings begin at 7 p.m. at the locations listed below. ■ Aug. 20-Seaside Public Library, 1131 Broadway, Seaside. ■ Aug. 21-Central Lincoln PUD, 2129 N. Coast Highway, Newport. ■ Aug. 26-Coos Bay Public Library, 525 Anderson Ave., Coos Bay. ■ Aug. 28-North Mall Office Building, 725 Summer Street NE, Salem. Rules that restrict smoking on Oregon state park properties were approved in February by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission. Education about the new rule is taking place through 2014, and enforcement will begin in 2015. Previous public comments related to the state park rule asked the department to undertake a similar effort on the ocean shore, which is adjacent to many state parks. Citing environmental issues as a primary concern — plastic cigarette butts can persist for years, even in the harsh beach environment — the commission approved a staff request to consider a smoking rule for the ocean shore. After listening to public comment between now and Aug. 29, the department plans to present information to the commission on Sept. 17 at its meeting near Silverton, and return Nov. 19 with a final recommendation at the Astoria meeting.

RECREATION R E P O R T
FISHING Coos County lakes/ponds: rainbow trout, warmwater fish Fishing for largemouth bass and bluegills will be best during the mornings and late evenings. Coos River Basin: Dungeness crab, bay clams, trout, salmon Trout season is open. Anglers should fish the smaller streams which should have cooler water temperatures. Small spinners, small jigs, and flies all work well to catch trout. In streams and rivers above the head of tide, anglers are restricted to use artificial flies and lures until Sept. 1. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches. Salmon anglers have been picking up a few Chinook salmon. The fishing has not been consistent yet. Crabbing in Coos Bay has improved with some boat crabbers picking up limits. The best crabbing has been near the jetties but crabbers are getting legal size crab all the way up to the BLM Boat Ramp. In a cooperative effort including ODFW and OSU researchers, hundreds of red rock crabs have been tagged with a small blue “floy tag” in Charleston to gain an understanding of their growth, age, movement, population size, and fishery. Red rock crabs are native to Oregon and are found in only a few Oregon estuaries. If you catch a tagged red rock crab, contact the ODFW Charleston office at 541-888-5515.
C l a m m i n g is excellent during low tides near Charleston, off Cape Arago Highway, and Clam Island. There are also good places to dig clams even on positive low tides in Coos Bay. For more information on shellfish in Coos Bay click on the following link: Shellfish Assessment of Coastal Oregon. Before any shellfish harvest trip, make sure to check the Oregon Department of Agriculture website for any updates. Coquille River Basin: trout, smallmouth bass, crabbing Trout season is open. Anglers are having good success fishing the large to medium-size streams for cutthroat trout. Small spinners, small jigs, and flies all work well to catch trout. In streams and rivers above the head of tide, anglers are restricted to use artificial flies and lures until Sept. 1. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches. A few salmon have been caught in the lower Coquille River last week by anglers trolling cut plug herring. Anglers are catching a few smallmouth bass in the mainstem and South Fork Coquille rivers. Small spinners or jigs have been working well to catch smallmouth bass. There is no size limit or bag limit on the number of smallmouth bass you can keep in the Coquille River Basin. Crabbing has picked up in the lower Coquille estuary. A few legal-sized Dungeness crab at Weber’s Pier along the waterfront in Bandon are being reported. Loon Lake: rainbow trout, bass, bluegill Loon Lake was stocked with about 7,500 trout this spring. The lake can also provide good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass as the water warms up. Tenmile Basin: yellow perch, largemouth bass, trout Yellow perch are biting on nightcrawlers or jigs
tipped with a worm in Tenmile Lakes. The best fishing will be in over 10 feet of water and along weedlines. Sometimes anglers need to try several spots before finding the bigger fish. There are lots of smaller yellow perch that anglers have to sort through to catch enough keepers for a meal. Some of the keeper yellow perch are over 12 inches long. Largemouth bass fishing has been good. Most of the bass are being caught in deep water associated with cover like submerged logs or vegetation. Crankbaits and plastics like senkos or brushhogs have been working to catch bass. Early mornings and late evenings are a good time to throw topwater lures for bass. Trout fishing in Tenmile Lakes has slowed down but anglers can still catch trout in the deeper water. Fishing is typically best in the early mornings and evenings. Trout anglers are having the best success trolling wedding rings or other types of spinners tipped with bait. One hundred hatchery rainbow trout were tagged next to the dorsal fin with a 2-inch blue numbered tag. These fish were tagged as part of a tagged fish contest sponsored by Ringo’s Lakeside Marina. If you catch a tagged trout stop by or contact the marina at 541-759-3312. Umpqua River, south: trout, smallmouth bass Winchester Bay: steelhead, Chinook, surfperch Fishing the Triangle and South Jetty has been good for rockfish. Ocean fishing out of Winchester Bay has improved as more salmon have moved inshore. The ocean is now open for Chinook and fin-clipped coho. Some Chinook have already entered Winchester Bay and fishing will continue to improve and will provide some bank fishing opportunity from Halfmoon Bay through Osprey Point. Crabbing also is improving in Winchester Bay.
